Common questions
How much does it cost?
Plans start from $1,000 a month, with payroll, HR and support included. The exact price depends on the role, and you can scale up, scale down or stop at any time.
Who employs my assistant?
OnleJobs does. We handle payroll, taxes and HR for your assistant, so you don’t have to set up international payments or employment paperwork.
What hours will my assistant work?
You agree the schedule before they start, including your local business hours. Full-time and part-time arrangements are both possible.
Do I have to sign a contract?
Yes, there is a contract, but it is flexible. You can scale up, scale down or stop at any time, with no hidden fees.
How do you vet candidates?
We have our own offices in Davao City, Philippines, where we recruit and interview every candidate before we present them to you. Each one records a video introduction, so you can see and hear them before you interview the ones you like.
Is my business data safe?
Yes. Unlike many providers, we don’t source anonymous freelancers online. Your assistant works for our own company in the Philippines, which assigns them to your project. Simply put, we manage the entire process as if they were your on-site employees, and they only work in the accounts and tools you give them access to.
